A group of three thieves, believed to be connected with a string of T-Mobile thefts outside Los Angeles County, were seen in Santa Clarita snatching display model phones and watches in two separate incidents Monday evening.
Around 6:50 p.m. Monday, deputies received reports of a theft occurring at the T-Mobile on the 19200 block of Golden Valley Road in Canyon Country, according to Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
“It was reported two male black adults and one female black adult were seen running out of a business with merchandise in hand,” Arriaga said.
Eye witness reports and a search of store inventory revealed that the suspects reportedly snatched several display model iPhones and Apple watches before fleeing the location in a black vehicle prior to deputy arrival, according to officials.
Within fifteen minutes, deputies received a second call regarding a group of adults, matching the suspects’ descriptions, stealing merchandise at another T-Mobile location on the 25800 block of The Old Road in Stevenson Ranch, Arriaga said.
Deputies on scene were told that two iPhones and one Samsung were taken from the second location before the suspects fled in the same black vehicle, out of view.
“The suspects from both incidents are believed to be the same suspects, also connected to thefts of T-mobile stores outside the County,” Arriaga said.
The suspects are at-large as of Tuesday afternoon and the investigation remains ongoing.

Nice society we have here……No wonder 176,000 people left LA in the past 6 months over stuff like this.
No, I think it’s the very high levels of murder and rape that are making people leave. City of LA is well past a murder a day and two rapes per day. Not to mention the 450 cars stolen last week alone.
No. I think it is because criminals are caught and released, instead of prosecuted. They are running away from Gasshole’s Hell.
